Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 303 Shadow
When Milo brought the body of the man in black to Dillah, the man did not show the surprise or anything that Milo had expected.

This guy seems even calmer than before.

After hearing that Milo had killed a member of the Hunters organization, he led Milo into a secluded room in the back of the church.

"Are these the hunters who are skilled in killing?"

Dillah Shaw stared at the corpse covered in a black coat.

"One of them."

Milo tossed the body onto the table, then wiped the bloodstains on his hands onto the curtains beside him, a gesture that made Dillah Shaw frown.

"You killed him?" Dillash looked at Milo.

“I killed him,” Milo nodded.

"Why not leave one alive?" Dillasho asked, puzzled.

“This is a bit difficult to explain. If you can cooperate, the question of whether to leave any survivors or not will not matter.” Milo shrugged.

"How do we coordinate?" Dillash asked.

“Get him an identity and find him a burial plot,” Milo said.

"What is this..." Dillashau was even more confused.

“It’s a matter of precise collaboration.” Milo grinned. “Is this too much to ask of you?”

Dillah Shaw frowned again: "It's not that troublesome, I just don't understand..."

“Hehe, you can’t be ignorant, you should understand.” Milo patted Dirasha’s shoulder and said mysteriously, “Just complete a simple funeral ceremony, recite a couple of eulogies, bury the person, and leave the rest to me. As soon as possible, if you want to find out the origins of these hunters.”

"Is this one of your mystical abilities?" Dirac suddenly asked Milo.

"Hmm—that's one way to understand it."

Milo shrugged.

……

At that moment, melodious hymns drifted from the main church on the east side. Accompanied by sacred orchestral music, the female members of the choir sang in perfect harmony, which, to some extent, did indeed have a soothing effect on the soul, but...

"3 a.m., seriously?"

Milo scratched his head.

“It’s all because of those kids in the church,” Dirac replied.

"Oh yeah, those kids."

Only then did Milo remember the children at the orphanage: "Have you found out exactly who was hunted?"

Dillah Shaw shook his head with a calm expression: "Not yet. The Star Clock Tower hasn't given any feedback either. I'm still checking."

“Now, give me a list of the people at the orphanage,” Milotti said.

"It's clear you have a deep-seated prejudice against the church." Although Dirac said this, he still handed the list of personnel to Milo.

In fact, Milo simply didn't trust the church.

There are many reasons, including but not limited to the fact that the Raven and its school originated from the Church, which alone is enough for Milo to be highly wary of the Church.

He needs to know how many people are currently in the orphanage and have access to the orphanage's information so that no one will go missing without anyone noticing.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on those children. The church will guarantee their safety. At least you can trust me on that point," Dillashau said calmly.

“Indeed, it’s a pity you’re just a clerk; it would be so much better if you were a bishop.” Milo shrugged.

“Without me as your clerk, you would have died in prison long ago,” Dirac said calmly.

“So please, do me a favor, my savior.” Milo patted the dripping blood on the table and said to Dillashau, “Bury him while he’s hot.”

"I will send someone to tell you his burial location tomorrow at noon."

Dillah Shaw couldn't persuade Milo otherwise and finally had to agree.

Although he didn't understand the significance of this action.

However, if Milo could actually use this to find out the origins of the Hunter Organization, Dillasho would be very willing to help.

In fact, he was now more eager than anyone else to know whether there was any connection between the church and the hunter organization, or rather, what the people on the Star Clock Tower thought of these hunted apostles.

……

Dillah Shaw fell into deep thought.

Recently, Milo, who has been known for his decisive and efficient work style, turned and left without saying a word after receiving Dillah Shaw's promise.

When Dillah Shaw came to his senses, he was the only one left in the secret room, along with the stranger's corpse.

The body showed only one clear knife mark, indicating that his throat had been cleanly and decisively cut open by a short-bladed cleaver.

Dillachao did not fully understand why Milo did not examine the body.

After much deliberation, he removed the corpse's hat and clothes, and roughly examined and recorded some obvious clues on the surface of the body.

For example, a totem tattoo that has been burned and destroyed.

Another example is skin calluses that can indicate the deceased's occupation during their lifetime.

……

Ultimately, whether it's Dillah or Milo, although they are in a cooperative relationship, they are still wary of each other.

Dirac never forgot Defoe's assessment of Milo.

A soul without reverence or faith has a one in ten thousand chance of becoming a savior, but conversely, the remaining probability is that of becoming the source of all evil.

Dillah had never seen a pastor evaluate a person in such a complicated way.

……

"Perhaps the initial judgment was correct, and the real source of the trouble has always been this person."

Dillah Shaw sighed.

He knew that everything he knew so far was only scratching the surface of the truth, and all his speculations were vain and meaningless.

Just like when the Star Clock Tower issued its rejection.

The shadows beneath the golden tree fell silent, claiming that a terrifying shadow had passed through Nanwei City.

On that day, the church sealed off Takahashi and the doors of all the chapels.

All clergy members were not allowed to leave the church building for the entire twenty-four-hour period, remaining on high alert.

That day, Dirac saw many unfamiliar faces. He saw the white-robed bishop and many older faces praying to the golden tree. He saw cracks appear in the windows of the Star Clock Tower.

Furthermore, for the first time in the magnificent cathedral, he experienced an atmosphere of "fear".

To this day, he still doesn't know what exactly happened that day that brought disaster to Nanwei City.

The pastors and bishops all remained silent about the matter.

……

Since that day, Dirac had been searching for the shadowy figure that had caused the Golden Tree to lose its luster.

Just as the golden rule says—

"Our vision is not broad enough..."

"Fear the blood of the old gods."

...

"Let's bury him while he's still hot and see what that kid has up his sleeve."
